Mr Medvedev is the head of a criminal organization which has affected the global economy and public in general. He concealed his identity in cyberspace and traded in illicit items using digital currency to avoid arrest.

Medvedev is set to be extradited to face prosecution in the US.

Medvedev is not the only Infraud cybercriminal arrested last week.

13 of 36 wanted persons allegedly involved with Infraud were taken into custody worldwide, with suspects arrested in the US, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, Kosovo, and Serbia. Those on foreign soil are awaiting extradition to the US.

According to US News, Infraud’s main servers were seized in Paris on Tuesday.

Thai Police Maj. Nuthapong Rattanamongkolsak, the arresting officer, claims officials have been tracking members organization for years. “Before the operation could be ready,” he explained, “they had to recheck their targets in various countries.”
